To label these things as Chinese or some other accents is somewhat of a distortion. We see many patients who have strokes affecting the speech apparatus in ways that cause vowels to be distorted, certain consonants not being able to be pronounced, perhaps changes in voice tonality – I’m guessing that one effect in this woman may have been that her voice became more nasal, a feature of many Asian languages.

To label it as some foreign person’s accent is a judgment call, and in most cases I think would have similarities and dissimilarities.
